    shifting problems after LS swap

    Yeah sometimes they wrap foil around the length of wire and ground one side to prevent any interference from stray voltage. In this case I think its supposed to have it. It's definitely something with the VSS once I'm at a complete stop the speed from Ecu is still slowly descending and is at...

    shifting problems after LS swap

    So did some digging around and sorting. The vss wires are not shielded at all. Assuming it should be within shield loom? When I did my swap I bought a stand alone harness and adapted it to my existing wiring that was staying I never paid any mind to the vss wires. So this is probably my problem...

    SAS front driveshaft solutions?

    aaronb going through your build thread, truck is pretty nice. curious why you did a track bar? did you drive it without it at all? was it apart of the preplan? just curious because i originally did not plan on running one. had a 95 wrangler that had one. it road so stiff it was like a gokart...

    SAS front driveshaft solutions?

    Yeah its for sure a high pinion. I'll see what happens when this flange comes in. If it fits ill just call one of those custom driveshaft places. I'll investigate the f250 driveshaft. I can probably grab one from junkyard on the way home one day this week. Thanks for the help though. I'm headed...

    SAS front driveshaft solutions?

    Yeah. If I have it on the side it binds up on then it doesn't reach the axle. Im wondering if I can swap out the yoke for k5 flange style and then get custom length cv style driveshaft. I pulled it apart and its 32 spline yoke. Supposedly the np208 that was in a k5 is 32 spline. I ordered one...

    SAS front driveshaft solutions?

    so you used the ford drive shaft from say an f250? with chevy factory transfercase? if i let the factory drive shaft droop it will hang below the axle but if i spin it so driveshaft side u joint ears are vertical it doesnt have enough clearance and makes the shaft not reach the axle anymore. the...

    SAS front driveshaft solutions?

    yeah i seen the hybrid joints. still have the problem of it not wanting to flex all the way down at one angle. what does everyone else do? should i try to change it to flange style and get k5 shaft? not sure how many splines are on the np241 either. not sure what to do with this.

    loud unkown clunk or pop after towing. front axle?

    loud unkown clunk or pop after towing. front axle?

    Lol sorry to laugh but that is hilarious. Its funny how you get used to it always being the worst case scenario and then when it actually isn't for once you still go to the extreme. I'm still not out of the water yet I guess. I'm going to investigate plugs, wires and coils. Hopefully one of...

    loud unkown clunk or pop after towing. front axle?

    so i did the transfer case yesterday, filled it with fluid today. had someone else start it and just by pure chance it made the noise during start up with me standing next to it sounds like a backfire but after, like out the exhaust instead of through intake. today i noticed it has a bit of a...

    loud unkown clunk or pop after towing. front axle?

    I'll revisit the front end today. Inspect axle shafts better. I didnt see any tears in boots or anything. Found some other info of clunking sound coming from rear driveshaft slip yoke binding up. Ill apply some grease to that and see what happens. Wonder if the cv axle was at such an angle that...
